Jerry O’Connell joins The Talk

Actor Jerry O’Connell will become a new co-host for US chat show The Talk.

He joins Sheryl Underwood, Carrie Ann Inaba, Elaine Welteroth and Amanda Kloots.

Becoming the first full-time male co-host of the show, his casting follows the high-profile departure of Sharon Osbourne.

O’Connell (Star Trek: Lower Decks) has been a frequent guest host in the past few months.

“First of all, I want to say you ladies have been so welcoming to me,” O’Connell said this week. “I mean, I came here as a guest months ago, and just from the moment I walked in, you’re just gracious, you’re kind, you’re fun, and it worked. And here we are. We’re going to have a lot of fun, we really are.”

The Talk screens in Australia on 10.
